: hey, um i'm starting to get into bass guitar and i want to know what kind i should get to start...not too expensive..and plus, i wanted to know if it's really hard to play...cause i really want to dedicate like all my time to this..i love music so much..if anyone can pleaes help me, i would apppreciate it..bye

My advice to you young grasshopper.....really though, My advice would be to go out and grab one of those 199.00 fender precision basses so you can getyour hands on it and get started. THEN....start saving your money, because you will be wanting a better bass down the road. and if you decide that maybebass isnt for you, you wont be out a whole lot of money. (but we all know that will never happen....) anyway, once you sink your teeth into it you willstart to know what you want...whats a good bass is...what kinds arent. and by that time, you will have plenty of money to go out into the candy store of bassdomand really start to get excited.(i was so excited with my first good bass, i slept with it....im not kidding)....oh and it would really help out yourfundemental skills to start with a teacher...anyway....goodluck john.
